527 manual pages, the second one prevents the install from failing, and the
528 third one allows the build to use poppler-0.86.1 and later.
529 <!-- FIXME update hardcoded poppler version in text when necessary -->

534 fix breakage caused by <application>ICU-68.1</application> removing a
535 macro. The third sed is for a file within libreoffice, the first two
536 are for packages downloaded during the build and amend '.mk' files for
537 the external projects (the source tarballs are unpacked during the build).

549 a space. For all languages, use
550 <parameter>--with-lang=ALL</parameter>. Note that the translations file
551 is not needed and won't be downloaded if using only en_US as a language.

570 you disabled java.

585 <para>
586 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
587 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
588 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
589 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.

617
618 <para>
619 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
620 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
621 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
622 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
623 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).

630 the bundled one.
631 </para>
632

634 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent

710 dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.
711 </para>
712
713 <para>
714 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
715 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
716 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
717 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
718 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
719 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
720 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
721 might be much slower.

723

725 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
726 <application>Java</application> support in

729 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
